Blood Covered Roses

Chapter 17

Jeffs Pov~

- thump-
I dropped my latest victim on the floor as i reviled in large amount of blood that cover the entire room. Her once long blonde hair now a dark crimson was splattered over the floor. I walked over to a desk chair and slumped back kicking my feet up next to her laptop. I licked my blade of its red sticky liquid and hummed to myself, thinking about what I should take with me. Glancing at the desk in front of me, I saw a sketch book and picked it up looking through it. Completely blank. I looked over at the lifeless girl on the floor then back to the sketch pad. " it's mine now bitch' I thought to myself. I shrugged my shoulder and stuffed the sketch pad in my hoodie before I stood up to leave. I shoved my knife in my pocket before jumping out of the side window of my victims house, smirking to myself while walking off into the woods.
After about an hour of walking, I knew I reached the tree line of slender dick forest. I snorted at the thought as I walked through the thick trees.
-snap-
I stopped dead in my tracks, keeping as quiet as I could to listen to my surroundings. As soon as I did silence was the only thing I could hear. I readied my knife while I looked around and behind me.
-pop!-
-snap-
I whipped my head in the direction of the sound and stared in to the darkness from where it came, squinting My eyes to make sure I don't miss a single movement of what was lurking.
As I waited I got impatient. My eyebrows furrowed and I gritted my teeth.
" get out here!! Stop bein a little bitch!"
As soon as the words left my mouth, I saw two perfectly round white milky eyes stare back at me.
" let's go then fuck face!"
Immediately, this gut churning, horrific, nightmare of a sound pierced through the silence of the woods,  piercing straight through me.
I didn't know I could still feel something like this, I didn't think I had it in me still considering my line of work and after things that I've done or have seen.
I began to sweat but I felt chilled and my hands became..... clammy? 'The fuck..' I thought as I tried to make sense of what this feeling was. I breathed heavily as I stood my ground against whatever was in front of me. Before I could say anything else, the sound of a thousand bones being cracked could be heard, along with it the sound of twisting flesh being squished into blood. The only thing left of this creature in front of me was it's shadow, convulsing, morbidly and grotesquely moving itself and in an instant I knew what the fuck that was.
Oh shit.
" goddamn it....." I muttered.
Taking slow steps back as it emerged from the dark exposing its self, making it clearer to see in what little moonlight there was.
The rake.

It snarled and made that god awful sound that echoed through the trees.
The closer it got the more I could see it's limbs bend, pop, and break into disturbing inhuman ways. It's lengthy body crouching down like it crawled from the very pits of hell.
" easy..... easy boy...." I spoke calmly and carefully. I knew if I made an sudden movements this thing would be the last that I see. If thats really the case I better give it a good fight, I thought as I glared back at the creature with my signature grin returning to my face. I fastened my knife in my hand making sure I had a good grip on it and as I did the rake roared loudly making small branches from trees hit the forest floor.
I steady myself and made an exit plan, breathing in and out.
1....
Breathe.
2.....
He screech and screamed and I understood he was t waiting in this stand off anymore. I took one last deep breath.
3!
I took off towards it,  ducking under one of its long limbs, slicing its rib cage as I made it to the other side behind him. It's piercing scream set my ears on fire as it retaliated, reaching behind and clashing it's razor nails against my back, cutting up my hoodie. Blood dripped from my back as a released a long string of cuss words. I saw it's claws reach up again, ready to cut me up once more, but I didn't waste a single second more and I tore off into the woods back to the mansion.
Sprinting at full speed, I could still hear its screams and screeching close behind me. 'I can't let up I've got to keep going'  my thoughts running a million miles.  I glanced behind and and saw that thing run like the grudge on meth. ' fuckin Christ this thing is fast. I gotta think of something quick'
I pushed myself harder to run as I tried to think of something Incase I don't get to the mansion soon.
